  Not to diminish an educational/explorational part of the video, personally I think the achieved result doesn't look any good, it has a lot of Uncanny valley vibe. It explains why there are no 3d person platformer games with a realistic rigs. And why everyone who uses procedural animation are doing it for some silly cartoony games. And why most of the parkour games are 1st person. But the way, the problem with moving platform is usually resolved with setting a transform of the platform as a parent for the character, when he steps on it. It resolves some of the other problems with moving platforms, like boosting player up if he jumps off it. You can see that problem in Half-life 1, jumping in a elevator results in a shorter/longer jump depending on the direction in which the elevator is moving.

  Hey, thanks for the reply. I would agree that some IK leads to uncanny interactions and this can be seen in any procedural animation if you look hard enough. My implementation is very basic and just an attempt to keep the character’s feet locked to the ground when they aren’t supposed to be moving. Guiding the knee joints helps smooth out this uncanny feeling and I could add better smoothing for how the feet are locked to the ground or released for the animation. I don’t think I’ve covered my moving platform implementation. I want to avoid parenting it directly to the transform to avoid some types of errors that would be very complex to explain. It’s a good topic for future video :)

  Hi! In the vodeo, when Mario jumps, the camera doesn't follow him. Can you show me how to implement it? Thanks

  It’s called vertical damping. Unity has a standard implementation of it in their cinemachine package. It’s used in lots of games to make camera motion smoother.

  I don't use ik for my game but I don't have the weapon hold animation isuouse that you mentioned 😅 Because in my character that hand animation and the leg animation it's different object taknly. My character it's robot so it makes sense that the hands it's indepeding and have 0 effect for the leges technically my player have wheel not leg's but important part that the hands are different entaty and have 0 effect for the walking animation. That is perfect for my fps game.

  This is a common solution to split objects up into different components to be animated independently instead of using procedural animation and IK. This is also done for things like hair, capes, eyes, mouths, etc… good video for a future topic. Specifically the legs and feet often need manual adjustment to keep the player’s feet from clipping into the ground or walls.

  Hello everyone! I have an innovative concept for a P2P game that I'd like to discuss. Instead of relying on costly dedicated servers, I propose using a P2P architecture where players serve as servers, reducing server costs for developers. The core idea is to divide the game world into dynamic regions that load in real-time, eliminating the need for loading screens. When a player with a slower connection enters an outdated region, they can interact with other players in the same situation until their connection updates and loads the most recent version of the region. This would enable players to experience a persistent and evolving world where their actions impact everyone else, regardless of their internet connection speeds. Additionally, each player would have their own dynamic 'bubble' around them, determined by their internet speed or latency. This means that players with similar connections can interact dynamically. When players are together, their bubbles merge to create a larger bubble for the group of four, matching the connection limit. This is different from the game Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, where players move a magical chalice. The game could also feature small groups of four players, even if they have a larger list of friends, to encourage more intimate and strategic gameplay. There could be regions specifically designed for PvP, although the game would primarily focus on PvE content. I believe this approach could offer a unique and dynamic gaming experience, without the costs and limitations associated with dedicated servers. What do you think? Do you think it would be possible to implement something like this and create an intriguing story around this concept? My idea is inspired by the mechanics of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles but in a World of Warcraft style, with P2P limitations in mind.

•

  The same principles would apply. Instead of setting humanoid foot IK targets you would need to setup custom ik targets and configure them in the unity animator rig. I haven’t done it before but I want to setup a bunny character controller in the future that would need IK targets for ears as well.

  It seems like everyone *says* that you have to use UDP for games because it's faster, but literally everyone and every game uses TCP.. so confusing

• 
  @NickMaltbie15 күн бұрын

  It’s usually a mix. Use tcp for things that need to be ordered and reliable like text communication, authentication, level data. But for quickly updating data where only the most recent info matters like position and velocity it’s much more faster to use UDP to avoid the extra steps in message passing.

  For games that are in the first-person perspective, representing steps as a continuous ramp is just fine. No point in belaboring it. For third-person games, some reasonable animation is a good plan if you want to avoid cheeziness. That's it. Over and out.

  This reminds me of stuns in Grand Theft Auto and why they're possible because there's something about the physics of steps that makes it possible to jump incredibly high heights. Do you happen to know how that works? I'm guessing it has something to do with the way developers are trying to fix the stair problem, but they overcompensate and send the character high into the air.

  The main problem is with the humanoids/animals, they are not walking at all, they move by floating, all you see it's just an animation, that's why it feels weird, because they don't climb up the stairs, they glide up, with his collision box and animation simulating they are climbing. The main reason i think they didn't make them able to walk instead of floating, it's because it will need an exagerate amount of memory to work, that's why games that have a lot of detail in things you can do with the world like minecraft look like minecraft, because even with this big cubes and 16bit pixelart, even the most powerfull computer struggle running it at it's maximum performance, or trying to explode a million tnt. For now we don't have powerfull enough computers to make a really realistic game, it's just imposible to make even with a multiserver, just try to think to even try to boot this on a personal computer, it's just insane. Maybe the quantum computers will made the necesary step to made it possible, but for now we only can wait.

  We should just go back to what they did with the N64. Just have a ramp with stair textures on it. And hands that are just a block with a fingers texture. Even being new to 3D games, 10 years old, and knowing nothing, I still couldn't help but notice and even laugh at some of these quirks at the time of N64's popularity. To me, it just added to the charm of the system. Like the Genesis/Master system's sound chip and the dark, grating sounds it could generate.

  Is it possible to have each leg be a collision box/sprite, that detects and snaps according to these rules. But have the x-y distance offset to the main body be the "intent"? This way you can limit the IK calculations and also blend the snapping as a part of the leg movement so the body follows a more natural path. It even means you can have a skinny character walk on a ledge, while a fat character's belly blocks advancement. Creates a cool dynamic for character design without needing to manually configure boundaries on each player, the design does it intrinsically.
